    Sorry. I thought your initial comment was saying that the opposition to genocide that exists is petty and unreasonable and has no legitimate grievances.

    Were you not saying that?

      No what I was saying is more related to discussion in bad faith. I find discussions around things like “Bernie didn’t call it a genocide he called only it a horrific crime so he is no different from Trump” quite vacuous and possibly in bad faith too. For instance, I think that if he was the president, US would not be backing the genocide irregardless of whether he called it a genocide or not and that is what matters.

        I agree with that. I guess I was just oversensitive because I see that sort of dismissal of genuine objection to genocide all the time.
